Well...it certainly is not sad at all to me. I love the man I am with unconditionally and he knows that and vice versa...we have been together for 26 years and we are both very happy...and we do not do either of those things. We are openly affecionate in private everyday so it certainly is not an issue.
I think as a society we have let books, TV, movies, romance novels and fiction in general define relationships and how we "should" feel and what we "should" say or do...I find submitting to fictional or idealized notions or images of romance and love is a sign of a weak and lazy mind....and THAT is sad.
